Last week I finaly got my Playstation 2 online by plugging the ethernet cable from the back of my BT vision freeview box in to the back of my PS2 and the first game I popped in to my disc tray was Battlefield 2: Modern Combat after hearing it was a great online experience. Within the hour I was a raving, adrenaline high lunatic. It's an addictive experience even though my on screen character constantly bites the dust. The addiction comes from the rank mechanism and as everyone is aiming to get medals or ribbons or the points to go up a rank, no one goes easy on you. Thats where the frustration kicks in. You die a lot and every time you die you have to wait 15 seconds before being let back in to the fray. Might not sound like a lot but trust me when you are in the middle of an adrenaline rush it feels like an hour. So all I can say is this, I hope all online console games are like this!

Also my (FICTIONAL!) love poem to Meryl Silverburgh is finished and sent off to the podcast web adress and I must say it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Writing a love poem to someone you don't actualy love and the fact that it's a fictional person constantly drums about in your head saying 'It's just not right!' So I kept it short at a paragraph long and here is hoping it gets read out!
